"I recently purchased a home in Apex, and I needed to have the polybutylene plumbing pipes replaced which required the opening up of sheet rock walls and ceilings. Silas came on time to give me an estimate on the patching and painting of the walls and ceilings. I received the estimate a day later for a fair price and Silas scheduled the job promptly and completed the work quickly. The patching and painting were expertly done and matched the existing walls and ceiling. I will definitely be hiring him again when I decide to paint the entire interior of the home."

"Henry and his crew were amazing to work with. Henry was knowledgeable and communicative throughout our entire project. His crew was very polite and did amazing work for us. They scrapped our popcorn ceiling and were able to keep the dust isolated to just that room! We would recommend Henry (and already have) to anyone looking for quality work done at a fair price by an honest, hardworking crew."

"JK Custom Painting exceeded all our expectations. Kellyn’s communication was prompt and excellent throughout the entire process. Jairo’s attention to detail is truly unmatched — the quality of his work is exceptional. We had a large project, our home is over 4,300 sq ft. All surfaces were painted including ceilings, closets, kitchen and bathroom cabinets, walls, and trim. They completely removed popcorn ceilings and wallpaper, repaired all surfaces meticulously, and prepped everything to perfection. You’d never know the popcorn ceilings were ever there. They also offered thoughtful suggestions on paint textures and colors, which really elevated the final look. Most importantly, their top priority was our satisfaction, and it shows in every detail of their work. We exceptionally happy with the results!"

Popcorn Ceilings questions, answered by experts

The easiest way to remove texture from walls is the soak-and-scrape method. You’ll need to spray a section of the wall with water and let the water soak in and soften the texture. Then, you need to scrape the texture off using a drywall taping knife. This method works best with unpainted walls since paint prevents water from saturating the textured joint compound.

The cost of application ranges from $1 to $3 per square foot, depending on the presence of asbestos and the difficulty of removal.

How long it takes to repair a ceiling depends on the extent of the damage. Patching a small hole might only take a few minutes, while repairing a water-damaged section of the ceiling could take hours. If there are structural issues, expect your ceiling repair to take several days or longer.

Smooth ceilings create a modern, clean look that helps brighten rooms by reflecting light, making spaces feel more open. They're easy to paint and maintain but can show imperfections. Textured ceilings add character and hide flaws like cracks or uneven drywall. With a range of patterns, you can opt for a subtle texture or something more decorative. The choice between smooth and textured ceilings comes down to your personal style and the look you want for your space.

If your popcorn ceiling is asbestos-free and you are ready for a new look, painting is an option. As long as there is no flaking or other wear, a new coat of paint might be just the thing to refresh the old ceiling. The best way to paint a popcorn ceiling is to use either a paint sprayer or a thick roller to cover the popcorn texture fully. (Do not forget to dust it off beforehand!)

“Note that if you eventually want to remove the popcorn ceiling, a painted ceiling is a labor-intensive job to remove and will cost more,” says Bob Tschudi. “Once painted, the process of removing the popcorn ceiling requires physical scraping as opposed to a spray-and-scrape approach. It’s very labor-intensive, and thus more costly.”
